I used Endless Electronics for a PS3 YLOD repair, paid $80, which seems reasonable. I got the PS3 back, I played it for four days, maybe about 10 hours, and it crapped out again.

I sent it back to them for warranty repair and they're saying they can't fix it now.

Am I off base asking for a refund for the $80? I'm not asking for the shipping cost they paid for me to send it in under warranty, but the way I look at it, I paid $80 for a repair, not a service. The PS3 was not repaired.

I understand the likelihood of it breaking again was high, but in 4 days is absolutely ridiculous.

Oh, wise gamers of Tigerdroppings, tell me if my thinking is illogical.

I would ask. Good chance they won't care though

Ask, but step 1 after the YLOD is repaired is to save a back-up. Hope you did so.

I've heard of repairs lasting anywhere from 2 hours to 200 hundred. From what they told me there is no way to know which one it will be really.

Sure didn't. Was going to do it the day after it fried again.

Out of curiosity, I sent my phat into ylod repair for 100 bucks or so and during the meantime bought a slim. Never have fired the phat up again at this point. Is the Sony fix better than 3rd party?
